Older JDM B18B engine into 2000 Integra
 

I'm wondering if you have heard of this - an older JDM B18B engine (96 possibly) has the crank sensor in a position that makes it impossible to drop into a 2000 Integra?

The reason why i'm asking is because I bought a JDM B18B engine and it won't go into the 2000 Integra because of this.

My mechanic says it will go in but for emissions it won't work and the check engine light will be on all the time.

Any idea?

It should go in no problem, the b18b out of a 96 will bolt into a 2000 no problem. Nothing is in the way of any mounts or anything like that.

The engine definitely fits no problem, but you have to pull off the crank sensor on the old engine (2000 Integra B18B1) and put it on the JDM 96 B18B engine, and apparently (my mechanic tells me) there's nowhere to bolt it on.

Just frustrated because when I bought the JDM they said it would go on no problem.

The only way to do so is to swap the oil pumps and the sensor over, as there is no place to bolt up the sensor on the JDM oil pump.

However, there is a way around it, electrically, and it will not bother emissions

You need the crank sensor tho, as it has to do with timing and firing of the spark plugs.

No, it does not. The sensor on the oil pump is the CKF sensor, which is the crankshaft fluctuation sensor, used in conjunction with the CKP sensor in the distributor. The fluctuation sensor uses the pulses from its pickup and comares to the pulses on the CKP to determine if there is a misfire and in which cylinder. Basically calculates the crankshaft speed and sees if it slows down and where to calculate the misfire.

The distributor still has the CKP, TDC, and CYP sensors as always, just the addition of further OBD2 monitoring to calculate misfires needed the extra sensor, which can be bypassed by a bit of ecu trickery, have done it many times with no problems.

if you want to keep the CPS use the oil pump from the current motor since it has the mount for it. the only way i know if disabling/bypassing it is converting to an OBD-1 ECU.
